What to Expect: Jewell Island is a beautiful island just under an hour from Portland harbor. The island offers well-maintained trails and tide pools which are great for curious kiddos. You can hike through the island to the historic military towers and ruins. There are campsites that are first come, first serve and multiple outhouses. This a great day adventure with kids. A typical day trip would consist of anchoring in Cocktail Cove, hiking around the island to explore the tide pools, and swimming in the Cove. Option to bring lunch for grilling on the island or pack a picnic. Plan for about three hours on the island. Do not forget the camera as this is a great spot for some family photos and the views are beautiful! Feel free to request a custom trip with a stop by Long Island Bakehouse for a snack or ice cream on the way back to the marina.

What to Bring: We always recommend layering clothing as the weather can change quickly in New England. A blanket can also be helpful for those that get cold easily. Feel free to bring snacks or some takeout as well as your preferred beverages. Check out our blog for boat snack ideas. Please avoid bringing glass on the boat. We will have a gallon of chilled water available for your convenience. We would love to provide restaurant recommendations for takeout if you have any questions. There are multiple great restaurants close to the marina or near the Portland Public Water Taxi Dock.

Pick up can be at the Portland Public Water Taxi Dock at 72 Commercial Street. We can also meet at South Port Marine at 14 Ocean St South Portland. There is free street parking in the vicinity but this can be crowded in the peak of the season.
